Specsavers Burnley branch presented the vests to St Peter’s C of E Primary School to help pupils stay safe while on school trips and on learning events outside the classroom.
Store director David Cleasby said: ‘By providing the high visibility jackets we can help to tackle concerns around road safety and make it easier for children to be seen. Though the days are getting longer, the wintery weather isn’t over yet and the high vis jackets are valuable all year round for making sure students can be seen clearly.

Claire Crowther, headteacher at St Peter's, said: “We’re very grateful for the donation to keep our pupils safe and clearly seen.’
